< Hebrews 1 >
1 Long ago God communicated frequently to our ancestors in various ways by what the prophets [said and wrote].
ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᎸᎯᏳ ᏥᎨᏒ, ᎢᏴᏛᎭᏉ ᎠᎴ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎬᏔᏅᎯ ᏥᏕᎧᏁᏤᎮ ᏗᎩᎦᏴᎵᎨ ᎠᎾᏙᎴᎰᏍᎩ ᏕᎬᏗᏍᎬᎢ,
2 But now when this final age [is beginning], God has communicated to us [just once] by means of what (his Son/the man who was also God) [said and did. God] appointed him in order that he would possess everything [that truly belongs to God. God also appointed] him in order that he would create the universe. (aiōn )
ᎪᎯ ᎤᎵᏍᏆᎸᏗ ᏕᎨᏌᏗᏒ ᎢᎩᏁᏤᎸ ᎤᏪᏥ ᎤᏮᏔᏅ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏪᎧᏅ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏂᎦᏗᏳ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎬᏗᏍᎬ ᎡᎶᎯ ᏚᏬᏢᏁᎢ; (aiōn )
3 He manifests God’s glory. He exactly represents [what God is like]. He (sustains everything by means of his powerful words. When he had [enabled people to be] freed from the [guilt of] their sins [MET], he sat down in heaven [EUP] [to rule] at the place of greatest honor [MTY] with God [MTY].
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᎦᎸᏌᏓᏗᏍᎩ ᏥᎨᏒᎩ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏗᏟᎶᏍᏔᏅᎯ ᏥᎨᏒᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏄᏍᏛᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᏗᏳ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᏥᏚᏍᏆᏂᎪᏗᏕᎬᎩ ᏥᎬᏗᏍᎬᎩ ᎤᎵᏂᎩᏗᏳ ᎧᏁᎬᎢ, ᎾᎯᏳ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎤᏓᏛᏔᏅ ᎤᏅᎦᎸᎭ ᎢᎩᏍᎦᏅᏨᎢ, ᎤᏪᏁᎢ ᎠᎦᏘᏏᏗᏢ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎦᎸᎳᏗ.
4 By doing that, he [showed that he] was very much greater than the angels, to the extent that his relationship [MTY] [to God, as his Son], is more excellent than the relationship the angels [have to God].
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎤᏟ ᎢᏳᏓᎵᏁᎯᏯᏛ ᎾᎬᏁᎴ ᎡᏍᎦ ᏗᏂᎧᎿᎭᏩᏗᏙᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏘᏯᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎸᏉᏗ ᏧᏙᏍᏙᏗ ᏧᏩᏛᏔᏅ.
5 [We know that] because [in the Scriptures] no one [RHQ] ever reported that God said to any angel [what he said to his Son], You [(sg)] are my Son! Today I have declared to all that I am your Father [DOU]! And he said in another Scripture passage, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son [DOU].
ᏗᏂᎧᎿᎭᏩᏙᎯᏰᏃ ᎨᏒ ᎦᎪ ᎢᎸᎯᏳ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏎᎶᎢ, ᎠᏇᏥ ᏂᎯ ᎪᎯ ᎢᎦ ᏍᏆᏕᎲᏏ? ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎯᎠ; ᎠᏴ ᏥᎦᏴᎵᎨ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩᏃ Ꮎ ᎠᏯᏥ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ?
6 And [we know his Son is greater than the angels because in] another [Scripture passage someone wrote this about God’s esteemed Son], when God was about to send him into the world: All God’s angels must worship him.
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᏉ, ᎾᎯᏳ ᎢᎬᏱ ᎤᏕᏁᎸᎯ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎤᎾᏄᎪᏫᏒ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏎᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᎾᏂᎥ ᏗᏂᎧᎿᎭᏩᏗᏙᎯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏧᏤᎵ ᏫᎬᏩᏓᏙᎵᏍᏓᏏ.
7 [And in the Scriptures it is written that] someone said this about the angels: [God] makes the [angels] who serve him [to be changeable like] [MET] winds and flames of fire.
ᏗᏂᎧᎿᎭᏩᏗᏙᎯᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏂᏕᎦᏪᏎᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᏂᎧᎿᎭᏩᏗᏙᎯ ᏧᏤᎵ ᎤᏃᎴ ᏥᏂᏕᎬᏁᎭ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏥᎸ ᎠᏓᏪᎳᎩᏍᎩ ᏧᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗ ᏥᏂᎬᏁᎭ.
8 But on the other hand, [in the Scriptures it is written that God said] this to his Son: You [(sg)] who are [also] God will rule forever [MTY], and you will reign righteously over your kingdom [MTY]. (aiōn )
ᎤᏪᏥᏍᎩᏂ ᎯᎠ ᏂᎦᏪᏎᎭ, ᏣᏤᎵ ᎦᏍᎩᎸ, ᏣᏁᎳᏅᎯ, ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎠᎴ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᏂᎬᏩᏍᏗᏉ; ᎠᏙᎳᏅᏍᏗ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎠᏛᏁᏙᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏙᎳᏅᏍᏗ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏨᏗᎭ ᎾᎿᎭᏣᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ. (aiōn )
9 You have loved [people’s] righteous [deeds] and you have hated [people’s] lawless [deeds]. So I, your God, have caused you to be more joyful [MTY] than anyone else.
ᎣᏏᏳ ᏣᏰᎸᏅ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᏣᏂᏆᏘᎸ ᎤᏲ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎯ ᏣᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᏣᎶᏁᏔᏅ ᎠᏠᏁᏗ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎠᏓᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗᏍᎩ, ᎡᏍᎦᏉ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎢᏣᎵᎪᎯ.
10 And [we also know that his Son is superior to angels because in the Scriptures the Psalmist wrote that] someone said to God’s Son, Lord, it was you who created the earth in the beginning. You also made [the rest of] the universe (OR, the [things in] the sky) [MTY].
ᎠᎴ, ᎾᏍᏉ [ᎯᎠ ᏂᎦᏪᎭ] ᏂᎯ, ᏣᎬᏫᏳᎯ, ᏗᏓᎴᏂᏍᎬ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎦᎫᏍᏓᎥ ᏣᏁᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᎦᎸᎶᎢ ᏗᏦᏰᏂ ᏦᏢᏔᏁᎢ;
11 Everything in the universe will disappear, but you will keep on living [forever]. They will wear out as clothing [wears out].
ᏛᎾᎵᏛᏔᏂ ᎾᏍᎩ; ᏂᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᏁᏣᏛᏁᏍᏗᏉ; ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎦᏛ ᏓᏳᏁᏔᏥ ᎠᏄᏬ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ;
12 You will dispose of them as one rolls up an [old] coat [before getting rid of it]. [Then], you will exchange [everything that is in the universe for what is new], as someone puts on a new garment [in exchange for an old garment] [SIM]. But you [are not like what you created]; You stay the same, and you live forever [LIT]!
ᎠᎴ ᎤᏔᏃᎯ ᎠᏄᏬ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏙᏘᏇᏅᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᏗᎦᏁᏟᏴᏛ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ; ᏂᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᏁᏣᏍᏗᏉ, ᎠᎴ ᏕᏣᏕᏘᏱᎶᏍᎬ ᎥᏝ ᏭᏍᏘᏥᎯᏍᏗ ᏱᎩ.
13 [We also know that his Son is superior to angels because no one ever stated] [RHQ] [in the Scriptures] that God said to any angel [what he said to his Son], Sit [in the place of honor] next to me and rule with me [MTY] while I put all of your enemies completely under your control [MET]!

14 The angels are [only] spirits who serve [God] [RHQ]. [God] sends them [to earth] in order to help those he has saved (OR, those whom he will save).
